returned home from Washington last week

for an individual, hence the attorneys for
Mr.. Dubois, who has succeeded to the
property of his deceased uncle, will make
the very best legal fight possible, and we
understand that they have full confidence
in their ease.-[Brookville Republican.
A Union City correspondent writes:
Every newspaper reader has read the
claim made by the Chautauqua lake peo-
pie that Chautauqua was the highest nav
igable body of water on the globe. 1t
may be interesting, therefore, TO get at the
facts and figures. Lake Canandohta, the
new summer resort, located seventeen
miles south of Erie, is eighty-four feet
higher than Chautauqua and is navigable.
It may also be interesting to know the
relative height of all the lakes, big and
little, in this vicinity. Lake Erie is 1873
feet Above the sea; Conneaut lake, is l,070
feet; lake LeBRuf at Waterford, l,lSO
Conneauttee, l,l96; Chautauqua, 1905; f;
Lake Pleasant, 1926 Lake Canandohta,
1889. These levels were taken by Prof
l. c. White under the employ Of the state
and are endorsed by Peter Lesley, state
geologist.
